AcroYoga August 23rd & 24th

What is AcroYoga?

AcroYoga(R) blends the spiritual wisdom of yoga, the loving kindness of Thai massage, and the dynamic power of Acrobatics. The practice cultivates trust, connection and playfulness, transforming our individual hatha practice into a community experience. From a foundation of mutual support, we empower others to fly and learn to fly ourselves.

I'm not sure if I can do that!

An AcroYoga practice is a Fun, Joyful, Heart-Expanding, Body-Working Experience. You don't need to be super bendy, incredibly fit, or a dutch acrobat. AcroYoga Workshops are tailor-made for yogis and yoginis. You won't need partners, but you can bring one. If you want to expand your yoga practice or just try something totally different, come play Acroyoga!

LOVE, LIGHT, & FLIGHT: ACROYOGA FLYING INTENSIVE. Partner flying is a dance between giver and receiver, supporter and supported, the stable and the fluid. Students experience both therapeutic and acrobatic flying through the three basic flying positions, Folded Left, High Flying Whale, and Back Leaf. The base creates a stable platform for the flyer to receive inverted aerial asana flows, blended with therapeutic massage techniques. As the partners switch, they cultivate deeper trust and communication. The flyer receives spinal and muscular release while the base is the recipient of Thai Massage and the Buddhist practice of metta -loving kindness. Students are requested to have a familiarity with yoga. No partner necessary!
